I went to a local sub shop (locally owned and operated thank you) for lunch today.

I purchosed a foot long meatball sub on wheat bread (the sauce is GREAT!).

The price came to $6.47 with tax.

I gave the cashier $20.50.

So, as you can see, Ishould have received $14.03 as change.

I received $14.50.

I told the lady she gave me the incorrect change.  She looked at me like I had farted on her shoes.

I told her the price of the sandwick ($6.47) and that I gave her $20.50.

She pulled out a piece of paper and pen and did the math of $20.50 - $6.47.  She came up with a total of $14.23.  

I politely pointed out that the change should be $14.03 and handed her back the fifty cents she had handed me.

She blinked a few times then put the change in the till and gave me three pennies whiule thanking me for being honest.

I have to wonder how many other customers got the wrong change and didn't say anything.

So hive mind, did I do the right thing here?

Well, you're more alert than I am, and you did fine.  I pay attention to the dollars but not down to the cent.  I probably wouldn't have even noticed...

Of course you did the right thing.  With any luch, that cashier started paying better attention and won't be making the same mistake as often.

Good job!

You did right but she's gonna get tired of paying to cover her short drawer sooner or later.  

I don't usually count my change at fast food places or gas stations, I only pay close attention to the bills, so it's a non-issue here.  I'm sure I've got extra and not enough change on occasion.

If I was going to get farted on, I would prefer it on my shoes over anywhere else I can think of.

You made the math too hard for the cashier.

Should I edit it to say "sh!t on her shoes" then?  

BTW....she's the wife of the owner, so I'm sure she won't be fired.
